Duplicate check not working?

Post by appyface »

x2 Pro 5.4.0.2

I have three small text files in the same folder, that should be duplicates of each other in every respect except their filenames.

Every other tool I have for checking duplicates, including a full hex compare, and an SHA-1 file compare, state they are duplicates of each other.

x2 using the duplicates button, check by content and size, says they aren't duplicates?

There is a setting "Ignore small duplicate files" in Advanced options.

a few ideas from i-DeClone were added to xplorer2 -- ignoring small files is one of them

That solved it, thank you.

Ignore -0- length files might make sense to be ON by default. But it was misleading to make files 1024 or less ignored by default IMO.

At least put a disclaimer in the error message? All files 1024 and less (or whatever the setting is) are ignored... I had no way of knowing conditions were added...
